Currently, wavelength division multiplexing technology is widely used for exploiting the huge
bandwidth of optical networks. It allows simultaneous transmission of traffic on many …

Traffic grooming in WDM optical networks is a technique for aggregating many low-speed
traffic streams from users onto a high-speed lightpath. In this scheme the objective of the …

Traffic grooming schemes have attracted a lot of research attention for addressing the
bandwidth mismatch between low data-rate user connection requests and a high capacity …

Nowadays, the traffic demands in optical networks are low-speed traffic requests (low
bandwidth requirement of a few Mbps) that employ the huge capacity of a fiber channel …

The future of optical networks is focused on Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
technology. WDM allows simultaneous transmissions of traffic on many non-overlapping …

Traffic grooming in WDM optical networks is a scheme for aggregating several low-speed
traffic streams from users onto a high-speed lightpath. In such networks, an optical fiber …

In wavelength division multiplexing optical networks, the vast majority of traffic demands
present a bandwidth request in the range of Mbps which is much lower than the available …

In this paper, we propose a parallel multiobjective approach based on the honey bees'
behaviour for grooming low-speed traffic requests onto high-capacity optical channels. This …

For a high-speed metropolitan area network (MAN), a ring network based on the wavelength-
division multiplexing (WDM) technology has been deployed to solve global information …
